“Then that same evening after we had taken out the loan, she tells me she had taken out 3,000 dollars and donated it to Scientology. So I ask her, How could you do it? How could you donate 3,000 dollars to Scientology? Do you understand what you’ve done? It was a betrayal of my parents, a betrayal of my brother, a betrayal of the entire world. And look at our fridge – the fridge is empty.

“I told her, Please give me the phone number of the person you gave the money to, because we must get it back…

“She gave me the number and I’m calling him, and I say, you must give us back this money, because we don’t have food in the house. So he says to me, Erez, we are on the same side in this war. So I say to him, don’t you understand that for me this is a war for survival? And I’m looking at my wife and I’m saying, Tell him… Tell him we must have this money back, we don’t have shoes, we don’t have food for the children…

“And then the most terrifying thing happens, as I turn the receiver in her direction, and she suddenly presses back against the wall…”

Apparently, they did not receive the money back.

Meshulam continued: I’ll take you forward to 2007, when she comes up to me and says, I need 80 thousand shekel ($20,000). I mean, I’ve seen my own ID card, and it doesn’t say Meshulam Riklis, or Rothschild. But since at that point I already had my doctorate on Scientology, so I asked her, 80 thousand out of what? Out of 200 thousand? 300 thousand? Stop me when I reach the limit. 700 thousand?

“The thing is, she wanted to become clear. Clear means that you are cleansed of everything. And then all the aliens that invaded you a billion years ago – they’re all cleaned away.”

But, obviously, the financial damage was not the only thing Erez Meshulam had to endure.

“She left the house, of course,” he told IDF Radio. “And she came back four months later, and then, one day, she asks me, Why don’t you love me? So I said, You want to know why I don’t love you? So she said, yes. So I said, Fine, this evening, when all the kids return home, we’ll sit down in a circle and I’ll tell you why I don’t love you.

“It’s evening, we’re all sitting around the table, and I tell the children, I love you, you are the dearest thing to me in the world. Then I looked at my wife and told her, Now you tell the children how much you love them.

“She wasn’t able to tell the children that she loved them.”

“She didn’t say a word?”

“Nothing. She tried to express something, but she couldn’t say the word. You must understand, every person who objects to Scientology is considered a repressive person. And my children, because of the abandonment and all the things they experienced, they were against the Scientology. So in her eyes they were considered repressive people.

“How were they able to take a human being and dismantle her. She used to be an amazing woman… There are moments when she comes up and says, Don’t you understand that I’m happy? So I say, You don’t have your children, how can you be happy? The home you used to have is not the same home. How can you be happy?”

Meshulam said today, Tuesday, was a very sad day. “How can it be,” he asked, “that the Tel Aviv city council decided to give them the Alhambra Theater edifice – Farid al Atrash, Um Kulthum (mythical Egyptian singers) appeared there, My Fair Lady was staged there, it’s a historic place in Israel – to a center that takes advantage of people and hurts people…”

He told IDF Radio that the Scientology group functions clandestinely. A person may be asking for business consulting, and the expert that arrives in his office could be a Scientologist. The center offers very attractive sounding courses, such as a “Parents’ Academy,” which is being run across the country. “The people running this academy are the fishermen and the parents are the fish,” he said.

The Tel Aviv city council sounds as bad as do nothing city councils elsewhere. Scientology sends in some folks, spreads some lies, hints at campaign support. What do YOU people have to give these fine men and women besides horror stories? Those don't get you reelected!

Scientology uses mind control. I had a guy years ago telepathically will me across the street and bring him home to sleep with him (never had seen him before). Then he told me he was into scientology, so I knew. They run the CCHR, which does GOOD work exposing the genocidal abuses of psychiatry, but this whole dynamic is the devil pointing fingers at himself in another form. This is how he & his followers operate to suck people in; they speak the truth about the sin s of someone else or a group, to seduce people to side with them. The devil is on every side of every issue, really. we live ina contaminated world where he infiltrates & runs nearly every human organization. It is an old game, the devil creates a problem, to sell us his 'solution'. we all need to have a relationship with God thru the Holy Spirit, the siprit of truth, to help us discern what is true or false. God talks to everyone in our thoughts. Our conscience is God Our intuition is God leading us. we need to trust it. see article "intuition is god leadings usi".

psychiatry is evil; it is a front for nazi genocide. The drugs cause mental ilness, suicide, homicide, brain damage, liver, kidney damage. All the mass shooters were ON them. See my article "The mental health sysetm is a FRONT for nazi genocide". The nazis killed metnal patients with psych drugs before the jews. This genocide has never stopped. its target is blacks, jews, christians, the poor, mentally ill & others. teh people who run mental health at the top level are masons, devil worshippers. I have seen the handbook for 32 level scottish rite masony, writtten by aLBERT pIKE, A SAT-IST. it says 'we worship teh luciferian principle, but don't tell the lower levels this. " psychiatry, scientology,, masonry are all demonic cults. The lower levels are useful idiots to the higher ups with their hidden agendas. all the cults have ties to masonry & are occult.

I left the new age movement years ago when the thought came to me "if this is from God it should be FREE". This was god speaking to me. He talks to us in our thojghts. our conscience is God. so it our intuition.
The new age healers all charge. So does scientolgy, obviously. Jesus healed for FREE & told his followes to do so. matthew 10:8. All mental & physical illnesses are caused by demonic spirits whose assignments are teh names of those diseases. Jesus rebuked them & gave his followers authority to do it. I have done it. I have rebuked canc-, asth,-. depress. Jesus healed as a testimony that he4 WAS the savior & God heals today when we pray in Jesus' name for the same purpose. My free books & articles tell how to be healed, & saved. God's prophets did NOT charge for their messages; neither do I. see articles "letter to.

Scientology is neither science nor ology…lol…back in the day, they used a simplified form of biofeedback called the E meter, basically like a lie detector, and have built up their pseudo psychology from there. Many of converts appear to actually need real psychological help, including their leaders and PR people. Many of the rest are merely bandwagon people, impressionable people, and those who wake up, and leave, are hounded or discredited. One must sacrifice relationships to these rebels and involvement in the organization causes family difficulties and estrangement.

Back in my youth I delighted in engaging in debate with Moonies, Mormons, Jehovah Witnesses, Scientologists, all Religions with outrageous lies at the root of their beginnings, and found each to be ill prepared at best to carry on a dialogue that was both informed and cogent. I am still willing in my dotaring years to take any of them on. Please send them my way! They have nothing to offer but control and manipulation.

Ology means “study of”. Maybe if the government would make a study of why they allow such cults into Israel, they might come up with an analysis of a post Holocaust persecution complex thereby allowing each and every king of religion into Israel so that we could practice Judaism without more persecution. Little do they know that this will not stop persecution but rather open up the doors to a worse scenario of them “soul snatching”.

If the Israeli government doesn’t want any more persecutions, then develop/implement laws based on the Torah. “Be not like the horse, or the mule, devoid of understanding; that must be restrained by bit and bridle so they do not come near you.” (Psalm 32:9).

What has happened to Meshulam and his family is tragic. WAKE UP! This is what happens when you don't have Torah in your life. I am appalled that the State allows Scientologists to set one foot on their soil, never mind let them start taking over.

Let them go set up a "college" in Ramallah, and see how well THAT goes over!

This story just proves what was written by TIME Magazine in the 90's. Scientology is a cult of greed. This woman was asked to take more and more "courses" which were more and more expensive. That's what they're after, your wallet, not your soul. But how could this woman abandon her children? Is Scientology proud of that? They are master liars and manipulators and I am shocked that Israel would allow them in their country. Can't they shut it down? This article needs to be distributed to a national audience and people ought to rise up and protest. This cult of greed has got to stop!

Scientology is the result of a failed Science Fiction writer, who, himself once stated that the best way to make money is to form a religious following(CULT!)! To boot, I found a book written by Ron L. Hubbard in a dollar Store-I mean, come on, shouldn't that tell you something? Hubbard's in it for the money, and now it's out of control! I really try to respect everyone's religious opinions, but seriously, what harm Scientology has done to so manyt innocents is deplorable! All I can say is I'm glad I take Psychiatric Medication-cuz they don't believe in that-And it's likelybe cause in any other situation, those who follow this sham would be branded as Mentally Ill themselves!

Many Rabbis have reviewed the purposes, precepts and results of Scientology and have claimed that in no way do the principles conflict with the practice of Judaism. The NYC Scientology Center has a file of these documented and signed by Rabbis.

A Jerusalem woman is trying to hold on to her umbrella while withdrawing some cash at a Meah Shearim ATM, Sunday, March 9, 2014. The rain appeared out of the blue (which is how rain should), after a warm week that started to feel like summer. Well, it don’t feel like summer no more. Last […]

Here’s the Israeli Navy boat INS Hanit arriving in Eilat on Saturday, March 8, 2014, after capturing the Klos C, which was carrying dozens of advanced Iranian-supplied weapons made in Syria and intended for Palestinian guerrillas in the Gaza Strip. Here’s Israeli Navy Commander Vice Admiral Ram Rotberg speaking with the INS Hanit soldiers in […]

Pat Condell has a new video out, so, sit back, have fun. By the way, Message to Offended Muslims should not be confused with Message to Off Handed Muslims. Also, I’d love to hear what he has to say about Haredim.

The description that came with this picture says: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu speaks with American actor Bette Midler during an event at the house of Hollywood producer Arnon Milchan in Hollywood on March 6, 2014. But Bette Midler is not really an actor, she’s a singer who made movies for the LGBT community and […]

An Israeli female soldier (because they’re better at removing babies from their homes) evacuates a baby from a settlement in Judea and Samaria some time in the recent past. I’m thinking, if the baby was angry enough, couldn’t he evacuate in return, right there in her arms? Imagine the same picture, except with a settler […]
